As fun as the first one. Already excited to read the next. Hope this becomes a very long series. Only thing that bothered me was the marker. Addictions never really go away. Anyone who’s ever gone through a twelve step program can tell you that. Also, can’t decide if I’m rooting for the cop, the lawyer, or neither, but that’s why I have to read the third one tomorrow ;-)

Another great book! Finn is at it again in another addition of novelist/contract killer mom Finnley. I didn't rank this as high as the first book because it seemed a tad less messy and chaotic than the first. The appeal of the first to me was that Finn was a recently divorced mom of two struggling to make ends meet and write her book while fending off her cheating ex. The mystery of the hit and the mod seemed more organic and chaotic in thought. This book seemed to have the thoughts in boxes and every trail was followed like a practiced detective who had a lot of experience. Even with Finn and Vero basically solving several murders and getting a mod boss arrested, they're still just civilians who dabbled in contact hits. It was a tad disappointing but it's still a great read!

I want to know more about Vero and her full story.

I don’t know if I fully trust Julian, Parker, or Joey.

This book’s ending was much less of a cliff-hanger than the first book’s was.
